X-15 (1961)
Where'd all the hate come from?
Saw this movie at about age 11,loved it and then had to wait 50 years to see it again. Thank God for YouTube! Can't understand why some hate this movie. ThE X-15 is one of the most important aircrafts ever built and was instrumental in the NASA space program,and as a previous reviewer stated,it belongs on the shelf beside 'The Right Stuff'. The in-flight shots are great as well as the take-offs and landings,especially when BUFF had to make a dangerous landing with the X-15 still mounted under the wing. Solid acting from a great cast didn't hurt either. If you're not one of these people that can't do without over-the-top CGI effects and are into space and rocket flight, you'll like this movie !
Iron Fist (2017)
Excellent show being slammed for no good reason.
I really enjoyed this show. So much so that I'm already on my 3rd viewing. Great story-line,excellent casting and fantastic fight scenes. Finn Jones is great in the lead role and Jessica Stroup is a dream.Most of the haters feel Danny Rand should have been played by an Asian-Amercan.Why? He's been white for the past 40 years in the comic books so what's the problem? Imagine the uproar if Luke Cage or the Black Panther had been played by a white actor? The Internet would have crashed! Nick Fury has been white since the 60's but he's played by a black actor in the movies. People that said Johnny Storm in the latest Fantastic Four movie should have been played by a white man were called racist. We're not racist;we're traditionalists who have been following these comic books and their characters for the last 50 years.But,getting back to Iron Fist,don't listen to the haters. Watch it yourself and form your own opinion. I doubt you'll be disappointed. "Nuff said" !
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Well,here we go again with more incorrect origin stories.Have any of these producers,directors,writers and "actors" read an X-Men comic? I don't think so.
Hated this movie. I tried to like it because I've been a fan of the X-Men since the 60's but I couldn't. The origin stories in all these films don't follow the comics at all.The worst by far is Mystique,who was never a major player in the X-Men universe,and was usually a member of the Evil Mutants. Not now though;they might as well have called this film "J-Law & her band of merry mutants".I have never detested an actor as much as her.I hope there are no more sequels if this over-rated,over-exposed thing is gonna be in them. Enough is enough.Then we get to watch James McAvoy,who is such a crappy actor that he has to put his fingers to his head to show the viewer he is using his powers.Also,we get to watch Angel and Nightcrawler as cage fighters.Where the hell did that come from? I could go on and on but I don't want to waste any more of my life even thinking about this crappy waste of time.
